Here are some of the links and references mentioned during this week’s show:

U.S. support for Israel is still strong, but young people tend to have a less favorable view of Israel’s use of force.

The World Bank estimates that Israel’s control of the West Bank costs the Palestinian economy $3.4 billion every year.

Although Hamas is not technically forcing Palestinian civilians to serve as human shields, many journalists have noted that the group’s disregard for civilian safety is either ignorant or manipulative.

The U.S. has provided $118 billion in economic aid to Israel since 1948.

Ironically, when the GOP House leadership failed to pass its emergency border security bill funding, they called for Obama to address the crisis through executive actions. House Republicans are currently suing President Obama over perceived executive overreach in his implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Jonathan Bernstein argues that the GOP is now a “post-policy” party, favoring ideological purity over policy innovation.
